A long time ago when the Offspring were grade schoolers, Herself and the family had a Refrigerator Episode. The refrigerator clonked out, and although it was under warranty and could be fixed at no charge, there was no 'loaner' refrigerator to get through the time it would take to repair it. In the interests of saving sanity, they purchased an inexpensive second refrigerator. This second fridge took up residence in the garage when the first was repaired, and turned out to be an extremely useful appliance, particularly as the children grew into teenagers and food consumption (and the necessary storage) increased exponentially.
Now that Offspring the First and Offspring the Second are away at college, there is no real need for second fridge. Herself unplugged it and cleaned it out. It is quite empty. It's a little sad. At holiday time, though, we're confident we will be able to put it to use again.
